means our goal is terribly compromised there. When we want nothing then we have to give up everything. If one does not want to give up a particular thing, fine, keep it as long as one wants. Habits are peculiar dolls which we have. We continue having these blemishes and still try to think about the Ultimate. This may sound alright for some intellectual purposes. We may fool ourselves. But sincerity is what is lacking here. Sincerity means doing what we promised to do. When we have promised to do something we have do it and when we have promised something for ourselves also we have to abide by it. It is not for somebody else that we are sincere. We are sincere to ourselves, our goal. So in the process anything that comes in between naturally takes lesser precedence if our priorities are established. If our priorities are established and our sincerity is there, naturally we will not give excuses saying that under these circumstances one could not do meditation or one could not attend to the cleaning or one could not do their prayers. All these exceptions are given because our priorities are affected and our goal clarity is terribly compromised.
